19 Years of Travelling!

I have recently heard back about the colour-ringed Black-tailed Godwit we saw last Thursday morning in the drizzle at Kilnsea.  This vibrantly-plumaged bird was a welcome sight on such a miserable morning, but the news about its ringing history, and previous sightings of this long-distance traveller are really astonishing.  It's full history is recounted below at the bottom of the blog.
